OHL and WHL players granted legal path for hazing and abuse claims

Law firm Koskie Minsky LLP is spearheading these actions, organizing claims by team to streamline the legal process for victims. The court-approved framework, filed under CV-20-00642705-00CP, requires participants to formally register their claims directly with the firm. This legal window is not indefinite; the firm has set a firm deadline of April 6, 2027, for all opt-in submissions. Any player attempting to join after this date will be excluded from the current process.

Those seeking to initiate a claim or obtain further information can reach the firm at 1-833-630-1791, via email at chl@kmlaw.ca, or through their office at 900-20 Queen Street West, Toronto. Detailed instructions and resources for potential claimants are also hosted on the firm’s dedicated portal at www.kmlaw.ca/chl.
